[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Members of Hyundai Motor's labor union supported the strike with high approval ratings.
If the decision to suspend the mediation is made at the National Labor Relations Commission's dispute mediation meeting slated for the 28th, Hyundai Motor's labor union will be able to go on a legal strike at any time.
The Hyundai Motor Union announced that 43,166 (96.92% turnout) voted and 39,608 approved (88.93% of registered and 91.76% of voters) as a result of the strike vote of 44,538 union members on the 25th.
The union will hold a meeting of the Central Committee on Countermeasures and launch ceremony on the 30th to discuss the direction of the strike. Hyundai Motor is on the verge of a strike related to wage and collective agreement for the first time in five years.
Hyundai Motor's labor union is demanding that the company raise its basic salary by 184,900 won (excluding the increase in salary) this year, pay 30 percent of its net profit (including stocks) in the previous year, pay 900 percent in bonuses, raise various allowances and become a reality.
The separate request also calls for extending the retirement age, currently 60 years old, to a maximum of 64 years old in conjunction with the timing of receiving the national pension.
The management says it can propose a wage plan after further discussions with the union. However, it is reported that there is a difference in opinion that the extension of the retirement age cannot be accepted in consideration of social opinion.
